Living Life for Lans

I was talking to my mom about you this last weekend about how much we love you. I heard a story once where a Sunday school teacher asked the class [most likely to teach the class about repentance or the atonement] "who in here is perfect?" A husband stood up and said, "I'm standing proxy for my wife's first husband who died."

I know so often we immortalize people when the pass on and try to focus on their great qualities. The crazy thing about you is that we ALWAYS thought you were an angel. There was rarely a visit with Ben where we didn't tell him that "he scored." Not once where I thought you could give more or love harder than you were. Always inspiring, always loving, always improving, always working hard. You truly were just THAT special... and we always knew it.

Thanks for teaching us in your short life how to live. If we come here to learn something, then it is no wonder your life was short. My dad said it best, "attributes people spend a life time trying to develop, Lana came with." Not a day goes by Lans that I don't miss you so much.
